Later this week is Thanksgiving so we will have an abbreviated publishing schedule this week. We will publish on Tuesday and we will not publish on Thursday. If we publish on Sunday it will be a shorter than normal issue and then we will get back to our normal schedule until we reach the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.
We started our mid-November flat rolled market survey on Friday and we will collect responses through 5 PM on Tuesday of this week. If you received an invitation please take a few minutes to click on the button in the message which will take you to the questionnaire.
We will continue to collect information on the new coating extras. We know there are a couple of mills who are not represented in the analysis that we did in tonight’s issue and we will catch up to those and put the comparisons on our website as the week progresses.
I want to welcome those of you who have recently become members as well as those who have signed up for a trial of our newsletter/website. We encourage questions, comments and suggestions, so if you have anything you would like to have us dig deeper into please send us an email to: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Final Thoughts
We're getting ready to initiate the 10-day countdown until Steel Summit 2025 in Atlanta. Liftoff is on Aug. 25, and the conference goes through Aug. 27. With the speed at which things have moved this year, it will be great to take a breath and reflect on what's happened so far.

Yesterday’s tragedy and loss of life at U.S. Steel’s Clairton Works is a stark reminder of how important safety in the workplace really is.

Final Thoughts: Pig iron ‘sideways’
What the word "sideways" means can depend on where you sit on the procurement spectrum.
